What it boils down to is SOME of us like to know a little about people
especially if we are chatting to 'em on a regular basis , or even on a
not so regular basis . Even if its only to confirm gender , age , and location . The addition of info like what instruments (if any ) are played ,and what sort of stuff you like to perform (assuming you DO perform) are what add a bit of flesh to the bare bones of a name !
